The process had 4 rounds that were weeks apart. The first round was with the hiring manager. The second was a technical interview with the team. The third round was with multiple directors. The fourth and final round was with the EVP. Each round was weeks apart and the whole thing took way too long.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process was long and difficult, taking over four months, and really needs to be updated to focus more on the candidate. There were 7 interviews in 3 rounds, including 3 with core leadership and 4 with people from other departments which felt like too many. Scheduling was a bit messy because meetings were frequently rescheduled and recruiters didn't send out calendar invites. All interviews were virtual and conducted using older software. The interviews themselves focused on standard, by-the-book behavioral questions.

Technical Case Presentation
The whole thing took about a month. After I applied, a recruiter hit me up to chat about the job, the company, and what I wanted salary-wise. The next part took about a week, where I was supposed to chat with a senior growth analyst about my skills and also do a math test. It ended up being 2 people on the call, with one just watching. We had about 15 minutes to do a surprise quiz on figuring out calculations and making choices in a fake situation. I managed it with a little help at the start. Then they threw another made-up scenario at me to see how I'd think and calculate without any actual numbers. It wasn't my favorite, especially for a more junior strategy role, but it did give a sense of the work and company vibe. It was a bit weird how casual they were, too. One guy was chilling on his couch in a t-shirt during the video call. A bit less than a week later, they wanted to do a 3rd round. This involved a case study I had to prep for 24 hours before the interview. I had to create a presentation, point out some KPIs, goals, and strategies, and then answer questions from 5 different people for an hour (the presentation needed to be under 10 minutes). Considering it was a ton of work for a job paying $70k-$80k, I decided to skip the 3rd stage and look for other jobs that were way less work for a similar salary.

We started with one phone screen interview, and then I went in for the in person interviews. These interviews were with three people. The first was with one manager in finance, the second was with another manager in finance, and the third was with the SVP. All of the interviews were very laid back, and only one of them felt like it was a real interview. The other two felt like I was talking with someone about my experiences and what I know and how I can contribute.
